This is wild - looks like he's messing around with OpenAI to create setlists for a show: > base_prompt = """ I want you to act as a show designer for Weezer's upcoming summer tour. The show is divided into four segments of contrasting moods. 1. The Pop Party section will feature upbeat, cheerful songs with a more light-hearted message about love and relationships. It will be high energy and encourage the audience to…
Travis Morrison from The Dismemberment Plan also ended up as a programmer. https://slate.com/human-interest/2012/07/travis-morrison-and...
Maybe:
The lead singer of Weezer has an active Github account.
Seeing that activity chart reminds me of TJ Holowaychuk (a.k.a., visionmedia). He was such a prolific and inspirational guy. I remember going through college over a decade ago and looking up to him. He accomplished so much, but still made it a point to enjoy hobbies outside of programming. Dude was a great role model.
What's going up with him? Looks like he shut down his own company Apex (logs aggregator) and stopped doing open source work. His twitter is also somewhat inactive.
Interesting, he seems to primarily work on a Discord Bot. This is at heavy risk for confirmation bias, but I believe that writing chat bots is one of the best ways for people to get into and enjoy coding, because it's fun and rewarding, and simple enough (with an existing framework to use) that just uses strings. For a large generation it was MySpace and the ability to customize your page heavily with HTML. I know a…
No, that's just his only public repo. It only has 95 commits but he makes on average 1,000 commits per year on private repos (including Weezify, presumably). So it's really a very small fraction of his activity.

There's a whole generation of us who started coding on mIRC-scripting exactly for that reason.

Wait, no one remembers now? He once released a mobile app to stream Weezer songs, all written by himself. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/weezify/id1598140531 I'm glad he's still writing code so hard.
It’s so great that musicians can have a backup plan that works lol. :)
The headline is bad. No idea who that is and it sounds like they work there. Maybe: The lead singer of Weezer has an active Github account.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> sung about a 14 year old when Rivers was certainly an adult 18 year old girl, according to the first line of the song. I still think the song has a creepy/desperate tone, but not because she's legally a child. > "When I'm away, she puts her makeup on the shelf." For what it's worth, No One Else and The World Has Turned (the following song on the album) are usually taken to be related songs, including by Cuomo himse…
Sorry I'm not really interested in psychoanalyzing this guy. There are a enough talented(?) songwriters around so that I don't have to put up with these sorts of things.... you know, abject misogyny. I feel like HN community has a very low tolerance for this sort of thing, why is this guy immune? Because he's relatable? Gross. Look, if you're still an adult listening to this stuff and it's not just a "once a year bec…
